Faros Sidero, Kerkyra, Corfu, Greece

The Sidero Lighthouse (Faros Sidero) sits high atop the citadel of the Old Fort at Corfu Town (Kerkyra) on the island of Corfu, Greece. The British constructed the light on the grounds of the Old Fort in 1828. During my visit, I noted that the maintenance of the lighthouse and the grounds of the Old Fort  could stand some improvement as you will note by the graffiti on the lighthouse in one of the photos. Photos were taken in September 2011.

The Katakolon Lighthouse (Faros Katakolon) sits on a hill just to the North of the town of Katakolon, Greece.  Katakolon is home to a cruise ship port for persons visiting the ancient site of Olympia a short distance away.  This lighthouse is active and was built in 1865.

Akrotiri Lighthouse, Santorini, Greece

The Akrotiri Lighthouse sits on a high bluff overlooking the Aegean Sea at the South West tip of the main island of Santorini, Greece (Cyclades Islands).  The lighthouse was constructed in 1892 and is active.  The light appears to be a popular tourist attraction as there were many visitors to the area during my time there.
